i use the 120V/2400W inverter to charge my camper battery while I am driving, then use the camper battery for living at camp. a 500Whr power station (about $300 bucks) would charge in 15 minutes of driving and would power a normal TV for several hours.

yeah. i installed the DD bed scene lights. i like them. i am going to move them from the bed rails and mount on the outside of the Tune M1 so i have Trailhunter-like scene lighting tied to the OEM cab switch.

believe what you like, makes no difference to me! if you search this forum, you will see that awhile back (before the Tune install) I posted a spreadsheet of every fill up since the day i drove the truck off the lot. that post was to make the point that my truck got about 23 mpg from mile zero...

thanks, we love the set up too. 23 mpg before the Tune. a mix of highway, gravel, and 4x4 roads 20 mpg after the Tune. a mix of highway, gavel, and beach -- and trying to keep it under 65 mph on the highway. mpg drops like a brick as highway speed climbs.

@rchrds -- nice! about a month ago, i got a Tune M1 topper/camper put on my OR. no issue with the rail clamps, but have your same issue with the tailgate bump--always have to close the tailgate first to the camper flap sits correctly.

thanks for this. with your load of 900 lbs, how much travel do you have available on the rear with the 819s?

@Tacoyaki -- how are you liking the 821s? @andrewleader went with the 819s and seems pleased. you are both running heavy with the M1 and I will too. so curious where everyone is landing.

pricey. no doubt. i am likely to get 180 nights in it this year. so it was worth it for me. Mileage TBD. for the first 6K on the OR hybrid w/o the Tune, i was right at 23 mpg. today on the 150 mile drive home, the on-board system said 21.5 mpg. i have a light foot. most folks are seeing a 3mpg...

i bought the truck to be a North America adventure machine. the tune m1 was in the plan since 2023. sharing here because I am super excited to get the travel adventure rolling.

OR here. got 3 pigtails

@Sagebrush -- thanks for this. i decided to go this route and my son printed the mount you posted. looking at the CAtuned video for installing the twin, it looks pretty straightforward. just one question -- is the wiring harness that is included with the single compressor long enough to get over...

here is my log -- the thing that surprised me is that the mpg basically is exactly the same as when i drove it off the lot. table is mileage/gallons/mpg for that fill up 5089 15.2 22.6 4746 15.0 23.1 4400 11.0 24.7 4128 15.8 25.2 3730 16.0 20.5 3402 15.1 22.8 3058 14.9 19.3...

@Lets_Taco_Bout_It -- hard to see how an extra 600 lbs curb weight is leading to a 7 mpg deduction. maybe, i guess. is your vin in the transmission TSB? (mine is). there has been some correlation between unexplained low mpg and transmission issues. just a guess. probably not. but it is out there.

i have logged every fill up since i bought it in august. now at 5K+ miles. a mix of highway, country, gravel, and 4x4 roads. across all of that I have averaged 23.0 mpg. OR hybrid. i took off the front dam. i think that cost me about 1 mpg.

yeah -- the 10:30 mark of this video explains it the two oil pump system --

take the foot off the pedal and the gas engine typically turns off (when in 2H) and the electric motor is never on when the foot is off the pedal. at that point, no power is being transferred to the drive train. so the second oil pump is electric powered.

bumping this tread for anyone watching -- so the OEM compressor that comes with the TH is available -- there are a few in shops around the country. but it is $1250 for the part and an unknown amount to install -- maybe another $800. too much. seems crazy to have 2400W available in the bed and...

no, i use the inverter to charge my 1000Whr power station (that then runs my camp system). the inverter delivers more watts than the battery is rated for charging -- at around 1300W. so i go from from 0 to 80% charge in about 30 minutes. not that i ever get to zero. it is just super easy to keep...

this is how it is meant to work. there is an additional oil pump that keeps going to cool the turbo.

yeah, it is. i am very happy with wattage i can get out of the 2400W inverter. kind of a game changer for camping.
